Re: Crossbow Strings & Thumbs Don't Mix!

Thanks for posting this for us newbys. IT will surley make us be more aware of the danger.

My wife called and said that UPS dropped my Exocet 200 off this morning. And here I sit with 5 more hours before I can go home and open the box.

I hope she not playing some d@# mean April Fools joke on me.

Re: S5 String Shock Sound Suppression System

Thanks all, Sounds like I better buy the S5s for my bow. All this time I thought it would be the "Dissipator Bar" Kit that would protect it from dry fire damage. Deerstalker, Your saying keep the strip 1/16" off the pads, right? Do any of you have the dry fire gizmo on your bows. I've...

S5 String Shock Sound Suppression System

I have a Exocet 200 ordered and have a question concerning adding a S5 String Shock Sound Suppression System since it doesn't come with it as a stock item

Do they make a big difference in the sound?

If it doesn't make that much difference I'd just as soon save the cash.

Exocet vs Phoenix stock size question

Is the size of the Exocet 200 from the trigger to the butt plate the same as on the Phoenix? Iwant to make sure that if I buy a Exocet that the stock will fit my wife as well as the Phoenix will. And there are no- local stores for us to try one out. From what I can find out, the reason that the Exox...

Re: Kinetic Energy - Xbow vs Compound , doesnt matter

Good info . Thanks

How do you beef up a crossbow bolt from 400 gr to 600 gr? I've heard of arrow tubes that you insert inside the arrow, as well as brass inserts. Are there other ways?

Kinetic Energy - Xbow vs Compound , doesnt matter

I’m getting a Excalibur bow and have a Kinetic Energy question. Why do many of you suggest that you go with a 200 # or higher crossbow for elk, moose etc? I understand the science that more arrow speed and weight = more KE which is better penetration, especially on shots that may require more penetr...

Re: Exocet or Phoenix or Axiom ?

I wish there were archery shops here with a good selection of Xbows where we could go try them out, but since its illegal to hunt with them in Utah not a lot of places carry them.

Exocet or Phoenix or Axiom ?

Like I mention in all of my posts, I’m a bow hunter but a real newby in the xbow world. I’ve been surfing this and several other crossbow forums for several weeks now and have even posted on a few of these sites and have had many reply to my questions. And I’ve pretty much made up my mind that I am ...
